The sun declines, the day is done,
And evening shadows start to creep;
The weary world, its race now run,
Prepares to lay itself to sleep.
And evening shadows start to creep;
The weary world, its race now run,
Prepares to lay itself to sleep.
But in my heart, a stronger fire,
Than e'en the setting sun can show,
Doth burn with unfulfilled desire,
And weepeth tears that ceaseless flow.
Than e'en the setting sun can show,
Doth burn with unfulfilled desire,
And weepeth tears that ceaseless flow.
